Hey folks, the weekly Wednesday platform update has once again made space for a new community announcement, but we hope it’s worth the wait! Join us and let’s catch you up on what’s been a super-busy seven days on the platform, including a couple of bits you might’ve missed.
Critter Café
On Wednesday we introduced Just About Critter Café, our cosiest community so far! You can download the free Critter Cafe demo on Steam or enjoy a 10% launch discount from its full price, and either way get stuck into a whole raft of new rewards, including all of the below with many more to come:
Join us in welcoming our newest JAvians to the platform!
Curators’ Pick
With each community launch we’re impressed by the new wave of passionate and creative members joining us on the platform. Our latest feature - the Curators’ Pick - gives special recognition to submissions that go above and beyond. Read Rich's article to find out more.
Bluesky
You asked and we listened - Bluesky can now be connected to your Just About profile, meaning it can be used to submit to rewards! If you’re one of our new members or you just need a refresher, here’s our guide to connecting your socials to your Just About profile, and here’s Rupert’s article with more on Bluesky integration:
If you’d like to fill your Bluesky feeds, or let people know how to follow you, leave a reply on our social sharing thread so your fellow JAvians know where to follow you.
Bug fixes and optimisations
In addition to launching a new community, releasing a new feature, and adding support for another social platform, our tech team have been squashing bugs left and right, with some particularly nasty ones fixed this week:
Embedded media no longer assumes it comes from Bluesky
Disconnecting a social account or refreshing the screen immediately after connecting one no longer produces an error
The ‘connected accounts’ page now shows a list instead of a large grid
Ineligible reward submissions are now filtered to the bottom of the thread
A typo has been fixed in the text displayed in empty feeds
Embedded media no longer introduces line breaks in the middle of words
Have you found a bug? Let us know and we'll have a look.
